About Think College Inclusive Higher Education Network

Project Description

The Think College Inclusive Higher Education Network is a national technical assistance and dissemination center, funded by the US Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education. The mission of the center is to build awareness and capacity for increased access to higher education and employment for students with intellectual disability. This Center supports higher education programs across the country, extending the knowledge learned from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disability (TPSID) model demonstration projects and applying it more widely. In collaboration with the Think College National Coordinating Center, The Network provides technical assistance and dissemination translating research to practice to improve and expand higher education for students with intellectual disability. The Network works with strategic partners to broaden our capacity to achieve project goals.

Key activities include increasing regional and state capacity, building awareness, creating strategic partnerships, and supporting expansion and improvement of higher education for students with intellectual disability through resource and training development.

This project is currently operating under a no-cost extension, allowing for continued progress and completion of planned activities.
